Time commitments of regional politicians.Focussing on professional politicians Klaus Stolz investigates the interrelationship between political career patterns and political institutions in two of the most widely discussed cases of regionalism: Catalonia and Scotland. The study deals with two different yet closely related sets of questions: Firstly, how do professional politicians pursue their careers in the regional context. And secondly, how do they shape and reshape the political institutions in which they pursue these careers. The monograph is based on extensive empirical research including a comprehensive data set on the careersDevolution series.Representative government and representationScotlandRepresentative government and representationSpainCataloniaPolitics, PracticalScotlandPolitics, PracticalSpainCataloniaScotlandPolitics and government21st centuryCatalonia (Spain)Politics and government21st centuryElectronic books.Representative government and representationRepresentative government and representationPolitics, PracticalPolitics, Practical320.9411Stolz Klaus907322MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465180803321Towards a regional political class2029769UNINA
